## Problem Statement  

Despite advancements in vision-language AI, a significant number of the world's languages remain underserved, leaving millions without tools to process documents in their native scripts.  

**Challenges Addressed by Nayana**:  
- **Wide Language Gap**: Lack of robust OCR solutions for a large spectrum of languages, particularly low-resource and rare languages.  
- **Script Complexity**: Supporting diverse writing systems, including those with intricate scripts, cursive styles, or mixed-language content.  
- **Scalability**: Need for adaptable models that can handle real-world multilingual document processing at scale.  

Nayana is designed to tackle these challenges by fine-tuning cutting-edge OCR models for diverse languages across multiple regions, empowering users to extract actionable insights from their documents regardless of the language or script.  


## Vision  

To democratize access to **Vision-Language AI** for all communities by empowering a wide range of languages, including low-resource and underrepresented ones, with cutting-edge OCR and document understanding capabilities.
